Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1120 Kindness
“But considering this, I still don’t know whether this job is good or bad.

It would be fine if Director Li is willing to protect me after I get in, but if he is not willing to protect me, it would be like the person who got the job offending two deputy directors before even entering the factory, not to mention other directors and so on.

It would be difficult to survive if you were to go in under such circumstances."

Xie Zhiying shook his head and added, "You haven't considered the other side. Even if Director Li is willing to protect you, he can't just sit there and watch you for 24 hours to see if you are bullied.

You are on someone else's territory. Even if you cannot take action openly, there are many tricks you can use in private.

The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little devils are hard to deal with. Sometimes, the people who really make things difficult for you may not be those high-ranking leaders, but those who have read your gaze.

Besides, those deputy factory directors have been running the factory for so many years and have long been deeply rooted. Even if they are temporarily suppressed by Director Li, it does not mean that they really have no way to deal with it.

If they can't touch Director Li, they can certainly not touch you, a new worker who has no relationship with him.

They don't even have to make any big moves, just a hint can cause you to fall flat on your face.

It is difficult to say that framing someone is difficult, but it is actually easy to do. When the time comes, they can just find something to hold against you and you can decide whether to turn against them or not.

If you defect, you will definitely offend Director Li who allowed you to enter the factory, but if you do not defect, then that handle will no longer be a handle. Not only may those people kick you out of the factory, they may also make you work for the government.

As for being a fence-sitter, going with the flow, ordinary people should forget about it. Not everyone can be a fence-sitter. It depends on whether you have the ability to do so. "

After Xie Zhiying's analysis, the man suddenly stopped being envious.

Although his current job is not very good, he is happy doing it.

Although working at a scrap collection station is somewhat dishonorable and may not sound good when told to others.

Although the salary is not very high, it is at least a decent job, and a formal one at that.

Although it is a little dirty, it is definitely not tiring and it is very free.

It is impossible for the higher-ups to send someone every day to check on him to see if he is working. As long as he can finish the work and make sure there are no mistakes, the higher-ups don't have the time to care about how he does it.

Actually, I only feel tired for a short while every day. After cleaning up, there is nothing else to do.

As for the low salary, it is nothing to him, and he does not rely entirely on the salary to live. Working in the scrap collection station has some benefits, and he can earn extra money from time to time.

And even though they are all scraps, there is no guarantee that some people will be careless and forget some things when selling the scraps, allowing him to get a bargain.

He found 10 yuan from a worn-out shoe a few days ago. He didn't know which old man had hidden the money in his pocket. He must be heartbroken.

"Everything else is fine, except for the deputy factory director named Liu. It's best to avoid him. It's better not to offend him if you can. He has shady methods." The man thought for a moment and warned.

"Thanks, brother. I have something to do here, so I'll go back first. I'll treat you to dinner another day." Xie Zhiying nodded to show that he understood.

The man wanted to keep Xie Zhiying to have dinner with him, but Xie Zhiying shook her head: "No, I have to go pick up my eldest nephew. My eldest nephew is still young, and I don't feel comfortable leaving him in that tiger's den."

"Why not let your nephew come over? I have an empty room and you can stay here for the next two days." The man was very enthusiastic.

Xie Zhiying waved his hand: "Goodbye, let's wait for next time. Director Li arranged a guesthouse for my nephew. I have already spent the money, so I can't waste it. Okay, brother, stop talking, I really have to go..."

Xie Zhiying did not hide the fact that his eldest nephew had taken on this hot job and spoke directly about it.

When the man heard that the technician invited from Beijing to repair the machine was actually Xie Zhiying's nephew, he was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he said, "Brother Xie, leave this matter to me. Don't worry. I will find out the details of the matter for you later. I will definitely not let our nephew suffer any loss."

Xie Zhiying nodded and thanked him again.

The man looked unhappy: "Brother Xie, why are you still being so polite to me? If you hadn't saved my life, I might have a grave with taller grass than others now, and I wouldn't be where I am now. If you keep being so polite to me, you don't treat me as a brother."

"Hey, that was a long time ago. Why are you still bringing it up? You've helped me a lot over the years."

"That's different. Brother Xie, I will never forget your kindness." The man said firmly.

In order to buy a new piece of clothing for his older brother, his biological parents sold him to someone else as a child son-in-law.

In those days, it was difficult to support one's own family, so how could it be easy to raise a child son-in-law?

Besides, if he really comes from a good family, his parents would be willing to give him such a good opportunity.

The life of a child son-in-law is worse than death. To put it bluntly, it is even worse than the child brides from poor families, who at least can have food to eat.

At that time, not only did he have to work, he couldn't even eat a mouthful of slop. The remaining hot pot water at home had to be fed to pigs.

During the most difficult times, he only ate half a bowl of deadly black steamed bread in three days.

Even this is something that people don't eat if it falls on the ground.

His status in that family was so high that he didn't even dare to snatch the steamed bread that fell on the ground. The only time he could eat it was after the dog took it away and he had to snatch it from the dog's mouth.

Don’t even mention whether the things bitten by a dog are dirty or not. He was so hungry that he was seeing stars and almost bit himself. That half of the black steamed bun was his life-saving food. Not to mention that it was bitten by a dog, even if it was vomited by the dog, he could stuff it into his stomach to stay alive.

Later, the family that bought him encountered bandits when they were fleeing, and they pushed him out to block their guns.

At one point he thought he was going to die, but Brother Xie dug him out from the pile of dead bodies, gave him a bite to eat, and allowed him to follow him to this land.

Afterwards, he taught him to read and took great pains to take him to an apprentice so that he could learn the blacksmithing skill.

It's a pity that he is too stupid. After five years of study, he has only learned the basics.

As he was getting older, Brother Xie asked someone to find him his current job.

To put it bluntly, his life was given to him by Brother Xie, and it is no exaggeration to say that Brother Xie is his second parent.

Seeing the man burst into tears while talking, Xie Zhiying quickly patted his shoulder and said, "Don't cry, you're a grown man, it's not shameful to cry."

"No problem, Brother Xie, I can't help crying when I think of what happened back then."

Looking at the man, I don’t know when his eyes started to turn red.
